What If We Move to Saturn

Saturn is one of solar system most iconic planet with its large ring. Saturn is also second largest planet in Solar System. But, that wasn't major problem for me and you if you want to stay there, right? You will still alive and happy ending? NO, as you don't live in the earth you will die. This is the major problem:

Is that's cool?!
1. You, Like At Jupiter Will Crushed
Still, in every major planet this is great problem. Because it large size, all 4 giant gasses have this problem. At Saturn itself, the masses is 95 times larger than the Earth. If your weight at the Earth is 500 N (assuming that your mass is 50 kg and Earth gravitational acceleration is 10 m/s²(mass and weight are different, mass is never change,(except you in diet) even if you are at non gravitational area, it SI are kg, weight are the force due to gravity, it SI are N)) your weight at Saturn is 595 N. That's pretty large different. You are will crushed because it gravitational force.

500m/s?! That's fast
2. You Will Blown Up By It Wind
Saturn have one of fastest wind in Solar System. I mean fast... it fast. It wind can reach 500 m/s (or 1800 km/h). If you can't imagine wind with that speed (because we never fall into that wind, fortunately) just imagine that the wind that blows to you is around same as F-22 fighters cruising speed.
    That wind are faster than the sound speed, 747, Spitfire plane,  F-5 fighters, F1 car, and human walking. At the Earth, we only ever experienced 408 km/h wind and that was very destructive if it's placed in New York or London. Fortunately it doesn't make large number of death. The Saturn fastest wind speed can reach 4.5 times than the Earth maximum wind. If your base is from plastic curtain your base will blown up by wind.

 Molecular hydrogen layer here looks like cork!
3. You Can't Just Make House Here
This also problem for all giant gasses planet. Gas, gas they are at every way in giant gas. Helium here are lesser than the Helium at Jupiter, only around 3% Helium I'm the Saturn. Hydrogen here are dominating, 96% from all materials in Saturn. Because you will never find land here, you have 2 options for your operational base, in Saturn orbit or floating around inside Saturn atmosphere.
   If you choose to live in Saturn orbit, your base maybe being hit by uncountable Saturn moonlets or being hit by dust that floating around. If you want to live by floating in Saturn atmosphere, your problem is how to transfer materials and people inside or outside it. Because large gravitational pull, when you approaching the base, you can dragged down and miss your base. If you going outside it, you will need very powerful rockets to escape from Saturn gravity. Choose wisely.

If you want to eat Chile, I mean Chilli, at the Saturn, you need to bring it from Earth
4. You Wouldn't Able To Plant Anything Here
I mean planting plant, like tree or red chilli, not planting concrete or steel, obviously. So, why you can't plant anything here? The reason is.... play the drums.... is all things that I has told above. If you don't understand, don't worry, I will lighting it up... lighting up... Stop the drums sounds!
 Yeah, this because there is no ground here. So you can't just planting it at Saturn without bringing any dirt and place to put the dirt.
Second, there's no sunlight here. Plant need sunlight to do photosynthesis. You also have to bring UV light and battery to powered it.
 Third, there's no water and air here. Plant need this combos because water and air was also important for photosynthesis and cell activities (if you want to know what is the cell, watch this video(I don't make it, nor endorsed it)).
 Fourth, the wind here are very strong, as I has told to you. The plant will fly because the wind. So, you need to plant your plant inside your spaceship at controlled area.

NOT DRAWN TO SCALE, absolutely.
5. You Will Wait 29,5 Years to Celebrate New Year
Because it length from Sun is 9,5 times longer than Earth-Sun length, you will be need to wait very long to celebrate New Year here, if your age is 40, you need to wait until your age is around 70 to celebrate New Year. You may bored, but people say the hour are running very fast.
     If you have clients in Saturn, (maybe a balloon-head-alien) and he say the deadline is 1 years, you have 29,5 years to complete that order. So, next time your bosses say the deadline for your Island-in-the-Sky is 10 years, say your boss that human now live in Saturn, so your deadline is now 295 years. WARNING!!! If you say that to your boss, you may be fired or become shooting target for your boss shoes.
